<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">The technical committees MMB and DFT are the main fora in Germany covering all aspects of performance and dependability evaluation of systems including networks, computer architectures,
distributed systems, workflow systems, software, fault-tolerant and secure systems. In 2016 both committees join forces in a common international conference MMB & DFT 2016. In addition to its scientific programme on performance and dependability evaluation
techniques, it will comprise invited talks, tool presentations, state-of-the-art tutorials, and workshops focusing on hot topics.<o:p></o:p></p>
